As long as its something added to the art rather than a scratch in the art, the ME and alcohol will work well. Its better to scrub more with lighter pressure than scrubbing hard.
Try something like Simple Green first. Use Magic Eraser and alcohol as a last resort. It will clean the spots but it will leave the area dull since it is abrasive, and the dull areas will stand out depending on how the light hits the artwork. You may be able to get some of the shine back by using a light polish like Treasure Cove's #1 or Novus 2.
i had a bad experience using a magic eraser with rubbing alcohol on a playfield. it caused the PF to haze over and i had to scrub it extra hard with a dry one it get it off. probably took off a little of the coating/paint, but still looks okay. might not be an issue on a cab, but i would test a small spot before going to town on it.

Using Novus 2 immediately afterward will take care of that. That haze at first is alarming, but not a big deal at all. ALWAYS test in an inconspicuous area first (back of cab, area on playfield thats normally covered by a plastic etc....
Magic Eraser is very effective on playfields and cabinets, but must be used with extreme care not rub too hard or too long in the same spot, because it will rub off paint.
Make sure the Magic Eraser is wet with alcohol.
